Doncaster School for the Deaf - An education that is right for your child.

Doncaster School for the Deaf was founded in 1829, and is one of the oldest deaf schools in the UK. We are proud of our long history and achievements.

We provide a pupil-centered approach to education from the earliest years up to the age of 19. All pupils have an Education and Health Care Plan. Although we are based in Doncaster, we are a national resource and pupils come to us via local authorities from all over the UK. We offer a safe and nurturing environment in which children can learn and communicate effectively to achieve their goals.

At Key Stage 1 and 2 we follow the National Curriculum and continue with phonics sessions. The children have structured teaching in all National Curriculum subjects, then time to complete independent or group activities to consolidate their learning. The curriculum is enhanced through outdoor learning, educational and residential visits.
